►^PPW3*^0F-^P^3BPD^Y.i^^ 


AN  AUTHENTIC  HISTORY 

OF  ITS 

INCEPTION,    ADDITIONS,    ALTERATIONS,    COMPLETION, 

AND  PROMULGATION. 

WITH  A  BRIEF  SKETCH  AND  PICTURE  OF  ITS  AUTHOR, 

MAJOR    JAMES    WILLIAM    ABERT    WRIGHT, 
Past  Master  State  Grange,  California. 

WHAT   PARTS    OTHER    DISTINGUISHED    MEN    SUGGESTED. 
THE  CHANGE  MADE  BY  THE  NATIONAL  GRANGE,  BOSTON,  18B5. 

BY 

OLIVER    R.    INGERSOLL, 

PAST  MASTER  KNICKERBOCKER  GRANGE,   154,   NEW  YORK. 


Strange  to  relate,  that  although  the  Declaration  of  Purposes  is  a  document 
which  has  excited  the  admiration  of  the  world,  and  has  never  been  even  compared 
with  any  less  document  than  the  Declaration  of  Independence  by  the  Fathers 
of  this  Republic,  written  by  Thomas  Jefferson,  its  history  has  never  yet  been 

recorded. 

This  document  is  held  by  many  competent  judges  to  excel  the  older  Declara- 
tion in  the  grandeur  of  its  declarations,  in  the  poetic  beauty  of  its  diction,  the 
rhythm  and  cadence  of  sentences,  the  balancing  of  its  parts,  and  its  noble 
enunciation  of  purposes,  firm  and  res(jlute,  yet  not  dogmatic,  and  marked  by 
a  complete  absence  of  everything  bordering  on  braggadocio. 

It  is  a  declaration  of  the  enormous  agricultural  class  of  this  great  nation, 
who  for  the  first  time  after  so  many  long  years  of  silence,  and  even  separation 
irom  each  other,  came  together  "in  Congress  Assembled"  from  the  Nortii, 
South,  East  and  West,  and  as  one  man  solemnly,  silently,  and  unanimously 
-  adopted  thus  their  Dedaration  of  Purposes.  It  instantly  challenged  the  re- 
spect of  the  world,  and  its  influence  is  increasing  while  its  grand  beauties 
become  more  and  more  appreciated  as  time  rolls  by.  The  National  Grange, 
assembled  at  Boston,  Mass.,  in  Nov.,  1885,  again  by  resolution  called  the  atten- 
tion of  the  Order  to  it  as  follows:

HISTORY  OF  THE  DECLARATION  OF  PURPOSES. 

^^  The  jrnrjxiseft  of  the  Patrons  of  Htishdiulry  are  (listinctltf  (iiid  tKhiiinihlji 
set  forth  inuii  offidal  (leidarathnt,,  and  being  practioully  the  wonts  of  the  Foii)ul- 
ers  of  our  OrdfT^  ore  the  fundamental  jninciples  iipon^nhivh  our  organization 
rests,  and  7ve  ran  well  ehiUlenge  the  world  for  anything  better."" 

"  Therefore,  Re.vohed: — That  in  view  of  a  more  practical  advanceiueiit  of  the 
l>urposeH  of  the  Patrons  of  HuHbandry,  aJe  recommend  that  the  officers  and  mem- 
bers of  the  Sut)ordinate  Oranges  make  its  iiustructions  and  principles,  as  set 
forth  in  *  The  Declaration  of  Purposes,''  a  matter  of  special  and  careful  study, 
to  the  end  that  we  may  understand  and  2^erf  or m  ounohole  duty,  and  therel>y  ful- 
Jill  our  obligations  .so  as  to  build  higher  (ind  better.  An  advance  will  then  be 
made  lohich  is  sure  to  hnnten  '  the  good  time  coming.'' " 

The  idea  of  sucli  a  document,  and  even  the  name  "  Declaration  of  PnrpoHes," 
instead  of  Principles,  was  that  of  Bro.  Wright,  then  Past  Master  of  the  State 
(itranfje  of  California,  being  its  first  Master.  Bro.  Wright  had  no  idea  of  doing 
such  a  work  until  the  yth  day  of  February,  1874.  The  National  Grange  was  in  ses- 
sion at  Ht.  Louis,  Mo.,  when  Hro.  Hamilton,  his  successor  as  Master  of  the  State 
Grange  of  California,  requested  him  as  Master  of  the  State  Grange  to  act  in  the 
Committeeon  Resolutionsin  hisstead.  Bro.  Dudley  W.  Adams,  the  Master  of  the 
National  Grange,  spolte  of  placing  him  there,  and  he  had  requested  Bro.  Adams 
to  appoint  Bro.  Wright  for  the  work.  Bro.  Wright  innnediately  took  the  nuit- 
ter  in  charge  and  spent  upon  it  the  greater  part  of  two  days  and  nights,  it  being 
between  two  and  three  o'clock  in  the  morning  before  he  sought  rest. 

In  preparing  the  document,  he  availed  himself  of  the  friendly  suggestions 
of  four,  and  only  four,  other  members  of  the  Order.  These  were  the  Hon.  D. 
Wyatt  Aiken,  M.C.,  of  South  Carolina,  Past  Master  State  Grange  of  South 
Carolina  and  for  so  many  years  chairman  of  the  executive  committee  of  the 
National  (Grange:  Bro.  N.  W.  Garretson,  of  Iowa, who  organized  the  State  Granges 
of  California  and  Oregon;  Bro.  Ezra  S.  Carr,  Agricultural  Professor  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  California,  and  Bro.  Jno.  T.  Jones,  of  Arkansas,  who  with  Bro.  Aiken 
Avas  on  the  Committee  on  Resolutions  at  St.  Louis.  With  Bro.  Garretson's  consent 
(who  was  present)  Bro.  Wright  inserted  words  which  he  had  given  him  in 
rough  pencil  notes  in  California,  for  that  part  under  Specific  Objects  which 
reads  as  follows: 

"To  develop  a  better  and  higher  manhood  and  womanhood  among  ourselves. 
To  enhance  the  comforts  and  attractions  of  our  homes,  and  strengthen  our  attach- 
ment to  our  pursuits.  To  foster  nmtual  understanding  and  co-operation.  To 
maintai:i  inviolate  our  laws,  and  to  emulate  each  other  in  labor,  to  hasten  the 
good  time  coming.  To  reduce  our  expenses,  both  individual  and  corporate. 
To  buy  less  and  produce  more,  in  order  to  make  our  farms  self-sustaining.  To 
diversify  our  crops,  and  crop  no  more  than  we  can  cultivate.  To  condense  the 
weight  of  our  exports,  selling  less  in  the  bushel,  and  more  on  hoof  and  in  fleece; 
less  in  lint,  and  more  in  warp  and  woof.  To  systemize  our  work,  and  calculate 
intelligently  on  probabilities.  To  discountenance  the  credit  system,  the  mort- 
gage systen\,  the  fashion  system,  and  every  other  system  tending  to  prodigality 
and  bankruptcy." 

"We  propose  meeting  together,  talking  together,  working  together, 
"buying  together,  selling  together." 

He  slightly  changed  the  forms  of  expression  while  engrafting  the  principles  to 
make  it  all  lit  in  symmetrically.  Bro.  Jones,  of  Arkansas,  (afterwards  W.  M.  of 
the  N.G.)  asked  Bro.  Wright  to  insert  the  following  words,  which  he  Jiad  written 
on  a  slip  of  paper: 

"  Hence  we  hold  that  transportation  companies  of  every  kind  are  necessary 
to  our  success,  that  their  interests  are  intimately  connected  with  our  interests, 
and  harmonious  action  is  mutually  advantageous,  keeping  in  view  the  first  sen-

_  THE  CHANGE  IN  THE  DECLARATION  OF  I'UhPOSES. 

tciioo  in  our  Doflaratioii  of  PrlnclplcH  of  Action,  thai  "Individual  happiness 
doptMulM  upon  f?on»'ral  proHperity." 

Bro.  Wright  tltt«d  thlH  in  under  "  KUSINE8H  RELATIONS,"  cluuiKinKthe 
introduction  sli^'htly.  Under  "  EDUCATION,"  the  followin>?wordH  woreHUf,'«i'wt- 
ed  in  a  letter  which  Hro.  Wright  received  from  Hro.  ('arr,  of  ( California,  a  day  or 
two  before  he  drafted  th*? "  Declaration  of  PuriMweH;"  "  advocate  for  our  agri- 
cultural and  industrial  colleges  that  p'-actical  agriculture,  domestic 
science,  and  all  the  arts  which  adorn  the  home,  bo  taught  in  their  courses 
of  study." 

Under  BUSINESS  RELATIONS  Bro.  Wright  had  written  "We  are  op- 
posed to  high  salarleH,  hiyfi  rates  of  intereht,  and  /ii(/h  [wr  cent.  profltH  in  trade." 
Bro.  Aiken  wuRgeHted  that  it  bechanced  to  read  "  We  are  opiKwed  to  exuesn- 
ive  salariew,  fii(/Ji  rates  of  interest,  and  exorbitant  per  cent,  profits  in  trade." 

The  chanjice  was  at  once  accepted  and  appreciated  as  an  improvement. 
This  is  the  plain  unvarnished  record  of  the  inception  and  completion  of 
a  document  that  reads  as  if  inspired  by  a  higher  power. 

Tlie  next  day,  February  11,  1H74,  Bro.  Wright  was  requested  to  read  the 
Declaration  before  the  National  Grange. 

While  it  was  being  read  the  silence  was  oppressive,  every  ear  was  strained 
to  catch  each  word  as  it  fell  from  his  eloquent  lii)s.  He  read  them  in  such  an 
impassioned  nuinner,  that  all  realized  that  he  spoke  f.om  his  heart  and  soul. 
That  the  Declaration  voiced  the  longings  and  desires  f  )r  "  the  good  time  com- 
ing "of  all  present,  was  apparent.  For  several  minutes  after  Hro.  Wright  re- 
sumed his  seat,  the  dead  silence  was  continued.  It  was  almost  painful,  too  deep 
for  expression,  too  solenni  for  applause.  As  soon  as  the  spell  which  bound  the 
assembly  could  be  lifted,  the  document  was  adopted  unanimously  by  a  full  vote. 
These  Declarations  have  been  read  to  thousands  of  (Tranges  since  that 
memorable  day  with  similar  effect.  Time  seems  to  add  to  their  beauty  and  at- 
tractions. TJiey  are  the  Patrom'  Bible,  and  not  a  word  can  be  added  to  or  taken 
from  them,  without  detracting  from  their  beauty  and  harmony. 

At  the  session  of  the  National  Grange  in  Boston,  Nov.,  1885,  for  the  first  time, 
a  change  was  adopted,  the  word  "all  "was  substituted.  It  now  readi'.  that 
"we  seek  the  greatest  good  to  all."  Originally  it  read:  "We  seek  the  greatest 
good  to  the  greatest  number.''' 

With  all  respect,  it  \irould  seem  that  this  change  is  not  an  improvement,  but 
quite  the  contrary,  the  rhythm  and  cadence  of  the  original  sentence  is  destroyed. 
It  is  a  bob-tail  sentence  now. 

In  truth  do  ire  seek  the  "greatest  good  of  '  all ' "  ?  Is  not  such  a  thing?'m/>as- 
,sible  f  Does  it  agree  with  some  of  the  other  Declarations  ?  One  says  "we  are 
ojtposed  to  the  management  of  any  corporation  or  enterprise,  that  tends  to 
op{)ress  the  people,  and  rob  them  of  their  just  profits."  We  oppose  the  tyranny 
of  monopolies— "  excessive  salaries,  exorbitant  profits  in  trade,  high  rates  of  inter- 
est." (Jertainly  we  do  not  seek  the  greatest  good  of  those  who  represent  and  profit 
l)y  these  things  which  we  opjmse.  How  then  can  we  seek  the  greatest  good  of 
these  interests,  or  ''all "  i  The  expression  "greatest  good  to  the  greatest  number." 
is  a  well-established  anti-monopoly,  anti-monarchical,  anti-tyrannical  expression. 
It  means  that  instead  of  seeking  the  greatest  gcjod— that  is  the  greatest  wealth, 
and  greatest  honors,  and  greatest  happiness,  only /or  a  favored  few,  only  for  a 
privileged  class— we  are  to  seek  on  the  safest  and  broadest  principles,  the  great- 
est good  t(  the  largest  number  possible.  If  it  could  include  a//,  well,  but  that  is  an 
impossibility,  and  in  the  very  nature  of  things,  cannot  be  done.  Some  do  not 
deserve  the  greatest  good,  nor  as  great  good  as  others  merit.  Again,  the  change, 
it  seems  to  us,  undermines  the  whole  lesson  to  be  taught  by  such  words  as  "  we 
wish  to  discountenance  all  Monopolies  and  Privileged  Classes."  If  we  say  the 
greatest  good  to  all,  why  cannot  the  selfish  Bond-holdei,  Banker,  Extortioner,

ing that  ,t  would  not  be  possible  to  get  these  People  to  enter 
into  a  conspiracy  to  deceive  their  own  friends  and  themse'ves 

In  order  that  every  reader  can  act  as  an  intelligent  juror  in  this

thirds  vote  of  the  /State  Uramjes,  the  same  as  changes  in  the  Constitution  rtcjaire. 

We  have  the  very  great  pleasure  of  introducing  to  our  readerf!,  Major 
James  William  Abert  Wright,  the  author  of  the  Declaration  of  Purposes.  We 
coTisider  it  a  great  honor  to  be  able,  not  onl>  to  present  this  life-like  picture  of 
turn,  but  also  to  give  a  short  account  of  his  life,  so  that  the  Jefferson  of  our 
Order  may  be  known  of  and  seen  by  not  only  the  present,  but  future  genera- 
tions. 

Bro.  Wright  was  born  in  Columbus,  Miss.,  July  28th,  1834.  His  father  was 
the  Rev.  David  Wright,  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  a  native  of  the  old  Bay 
State,  Massachusetts,  and  descended  from  the  Pilgrim  Fathers,  but  he  removed 
at  an  early  age  to  the  State  of  Mississippi  as  a  missionary  to  the  Choctaw 
Indians,  connected  with  Mayhew  Mission  St."+ion,  near  Columbus.   His  mother

ashes  for  fertilizers,  and  sell  your  fuel  or  give  it  to  the 
poor,  and  was/t  like  ladies,  not  like  sla^>es. 
Claim  ^,~The  saving  in  the  wear  ajod  fear  of  the  elothes 
alone  will  be  more  than  five  times  the  cost  of  the  Quick- 
Acting  Soap. 

Claim  ^.-TJiat  the  eost  of  the  Quieh-Aeting  Soap  is  more 
than  saved  by  having  to  use  only  one  or  two  >ea- 
kettles  of  hot  water  and  washing  with  luke-warm  water 
instead  of  spending  a  day  over  hot,  steaming  suds  that 
make  the  whole  house  wretched,  and  are  a  fruitful  cause 
of  colds,  rheumatism,  consumption  and  other  diseases 
and  which  It  i.  claimed  by  Physicians  make  many  Women 
grow  old  so  much  faster  than  men. 
Claim  6.~matthe  eost,  of  the  Quick-Ming  Soap  is  more 
than  saved  in  the  hou:  .  of  labor  saved,  which  can  be 
devoted  to  informing  your  mind. 
Claim  7-~That  the  eost  of  the  Quiek-Aeting  Soap  is  more 
than  saved  in  the  item  of  fuel  alone. 

HOSPITALS   AND    THE    SICK   ROOM. 

Clalm  8.--TIiat  this  soap  will  kill  all  germs  of  diseases,  ^vh^th^T 
in  the  clothing  or  on  the  hands,  leaving  the  clothes  with 
a  slight  perfume,  totally  obliterating  what  is  known  as 
the  hospital  smell,  so  apparent  in  the  hospitals  and  the 
sick  room. 

Claim  9.--The  I.gersoll's  Quick-Acting  Soap  contains  no 
chemicals  that  injure  clothes  and  make  the  hands 
sore,  hut  that  it  only  acts  on  the  dirt.  That  it  will 
make  the  hands  soft  and  velvet3^  cure  all  sores  and 
roughness  caused  by  using  the  Alkali  Soaps  and  Wash- 
ing Fowders  of  the  day. 

Claim   lo.-For  Army  and  Nazy  use  it  is  invaluable,  as  it  acts 

as  well  in  hard  as  it  does  in  soft  water. 
Claim   ii.-That  the  clothes  will  be  whiter,  cleaner  and  softer 

than  under  the  present  barbaric  system. 
Claim   12 -That  for  Shaving  it  is  equal   to  the  best  known 

:>having  soaps.     In  shaving  keep  the  razor  hot  by  dip- 

ping  in  scalding  water.

was  a  native  of  Virginia,  n6e  Eliza  Abert,  sister  of  Col.  John  J.  Abert,  of  Wash- 
ington City  (who  was  one  of  the  early  graduates  of  the  U.  S.  Army  school  at 
West  Point,  and  for  many  years  at  head  of  Topographical  Engineers,  U.  S. 
Army,)  and  daughter  of  John  Abert,  who  was  among  the  young  Frenchmen 
that  came  to  America  in  1781  with  Count  Rochambeau  to  aid  in  achieving  ouf 
Independence.  Bro.  Wright  obtained  his  early  education  at  the  private  schools 
of  Columbus,  Miss.,  spending  several  months  at  work  in  a  cabinet  shop,  and 
three  months  as  copyist  in  Chancery  Clerk's  office,  till  at  the  age  of  eighteen 
he  went  to  Green  Springs,  Ala.,  a  noted  high  school  for  boys,  under  Professor 
Henry  Tutwiler,  a  graduate  of  the  University  of  Virginia.  Here  he  prepared 
for  college,  teaching  one  year  in  Professor  Tutwiler's  school,  1854  to  1855,  to  earn 
part  of  the  means  for  his  college  expenses.  He  entered  the  junior  class  at  Princeton 
College,  N.  J.,  in  Sept.,  1855,  and  graduated,  Jtme,  1857,  with  the  highest  honors, 
being  the  valedictorian  of  his  class.  Tie  returned  to  Alabama  and  assisted  Prof. 
Tutwiler  in  Greene  Springs  School,  until  May,  1862,  and  married  the  Professor's 
oldest  daughter,  Margaret,  in  August,  1859.  In  May,  1802,  he  enlisted  in  the  36th 
Alabama  Infantry,  and  served  for  three  years  as  Captain  and  Major  of  the  same, 
under  Generals  Beauregard,  Bragg,  Joseph  E.  Johnston,  Hood  and  Dick  Taylor, 
until  the  surrender  of  the  latter.  May  4th,  1865.  He  fought  in  the  battles  of  Chick- 
amauga,  Ijookout  Mountain.  Missionary  Ridge,  and  the  campaigns  of  Atlanta, 
Jonesboro",  Franklin,  and  Nashville,  and  in  the  final  fighting  at  Spanish  Fort, 
Mobile,  against  Gen.  Canby.  At  Missionary  Ridge  he  was  wounded  in  the  right 
hip  by  a  minie  ball,  and  captured.  He  ^vas  a  prisoner  of  war  at  Chattanooga, 
Nashville  States  Prison,  and  Camp  Chase,  Oliio,  till  March  27, 1864,  when  he  escap- 
ed from  the  cars,  while  in  transit  with  several  hundred  prisoners  to  Fort  Delaware. 
He  made  his  way  incog.,  via  Harrisburg,  Philadelphia,  and  New  York  to  Canada; 
went  to  sea  down  the  St.  Lawrence  River,  in  a  small  schooner,  to  the  Berumda 
Islands;  thence  ran  the  blockade  at  Wilmington,  N.  C,  June,  1864,  in  a  Clyde- 
built  steamer,  the  Lilian,  under  Captain  John  Newlen  Mafflt.  After  the  war,  he 
resumed  his  teaching  at  Greene  Springs.  In  the  spring  of  1868  he  removed  to 
California,  and  there  made  his  home  until  1883,  when  he  returned  to  Alabama 
to  live.  During  his  residence  in  California  h>  was  employed  extensively  in 
writing  for  the  newspaper  press,  as  he  is  doing  more  or  less  at  the  present  time. 
In  his  studies  he  has  made  specialties  of  the  languages.  Botany,  Natural  History 
and  Geology. 

In  California,  from  the  years  1868  to  1876  he  farmed  on  a  large  scale,  having 
at  one  time  four  thousf  (d  acres  planted  to  wheat,  using  the  most  approved 
machinery  and  methods  in  cultivating  it,  but  his  farming,  owing  to  two  un- 
favorable years,  resulted  disastrously.  In  June,  1873,  he  was  made  Master  of 
Turlock  Grange,  Stanislaus  Co.,  Cal.  July  15th,  1873,  he  was  elected  as  the  first 
Blaster  of  the  California  State  Grange,  afterwards  serving  three  years  as 
I^ecturer  of  the  same.  His  eloquent  voice  was  heard  all  over  the  State  with  no 
uncertain  sound.  In  1876  he  was  appointed  Commissioner  of  the  National 
Grange  to  Europe,  and  spent  four  months  in  England,  Scotland  and  Germany. 
He  attended  the  St.  Louis,  Charleston,  Louisville  and  Chicago  sessions  of  the 
National  Grange,  as  Past  Master  of  the  State  (rrange  of  California.  It  was  at 
the  St.  Louis  Session  that  it  fell  to  his  lot,  as  a  member  of  the  Committee  on 
Resolutions,  to  write  the  Declaration  of  Purposes  of  the  Patrons  of  Husbandry, 
which  has  made  the  Order  and  himself  famous  the  world  over.  It  has  been 
printed  in  many  languages,  and  to-day  is  a  valued  document  on  file  in  most  of 
the  great  libraries  of  the  world. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  is  now  living  witii  his  wife  and  three  sons,  near 
Greensboro,  Hale  Co.,  Ala.,  where  he  is  Princij)al  of  a  preparatory  school  foi' 
boys.  Since  the  age  of  sixteen,  he  has  been  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  of  which  he  is  an  elder.

Session,  held  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  Feb.,  1874. 


PREAMBLE. 

PROFOUNnLY  impressed  with  the  truth  that  the  National  Grange  of  the 
United  States  should  definitely  proclaim  to  the  world  its  general  objects,  we 
herol)y  unanimously  make  this  Declaration  of  Purposes  of  the  Patrons  of 
Husbandry: 

GENERAL  OBJECTS. 

1.  United  by  the  streng  and  faithful  tie  of  Agriculture,  we  mutually  resolve 
to  hibor  for  tlie  good  of  our  Order,  our  country,  and  mankind. 

2.  We  heartily  indorse  tlie  motto,  "  In  essentials,  unity;  in  non-essentials, 
liberty;  in  all  things,  charity. " 

SPECIFIC   OBJECTS. 

:].  We  shall  endeavor  to  advance  our  cause  by  laboring  to  accomplish  the 
following  obj(!cts: 

To  develop  ti  better  and  higher  manhood  and  womanhood  among  ourselves. 
To  enhance  the  comforts  and  attractions  of  our  homes,  and  strengthen  our 
attachment  to  our  pursuits.  To  foster  mutual  understanding  and  co-operation. 
To  maintain  inviolate  our  laws,  and  to  emulate  each  other  in  labor,  to  hasten 
the  good  time  coming.  To  reduce  our  expenses,  both  individual  and  corporate. 
To  buy  less  and  produce  more,  in  order  to  make  our  farms  self-sustaining.  To 
diversify  our  crops,  and  crop  no  more  than  we  can  cultivate.  To  condense  the 
weight  of  our  exports,  selling  less  in  the  bushel,  and  more  on  hoof  and  in 
lleece;  less  in  lint,  and  more  in  warp  and  woof.  To  systemize  our  work,  and 
calculate  intelligently  on  prol)abilities.  To  discountenance  the  credit  system, 
the  mortgage  system,  the  fashion  system,  and  every  other  system  tending  to 
prodigality  and  bankruptcy. 

We  propose  meeting  together,  talking  together,  working  to- 
gether, buying  together,  selling  together,  and,  in  general,  acting  to- 
gether for  our  mutual  protection,  and  advancement,  as  occasion  may 
require. 


CLAIMS  ASTONISHING  AND  EXTRAORDINARY.

hair  soft  and  glossy 

Claim  23.— For  Far?n  Hands  it  is  invaluable,  rendering  the  skin 
smooth  and  flexible  the  same  as  if  gloves  were  worn  all 
the  time. 

Claim  2^.~Mzlk  Pa^ts,  Cans,  and  all  utensils  of  the  Dairy  will 
be  kept  sweet  and  clean,  and  it  will  not  be  necessary  to 
scald  them. 

Claim  25.  — SKIN  DISEASES.  While  all  Laundry  and 
Washing  Powders  and  even  many  Toilet  Soaps,  produce 
various  skin  diseases,  this  Soap  has  just  the  opposite 
effect— it  cures  and  prevents  them.  Letting  the  lather 
dry  in  the  skin  after  first  washing  clean  wilf  cure  chaps, 
sores,  and  remove  all  germs  of  disease.  For  Tetter, 
Salt  Rheum,  Eruptions,  Sores,  Cuts,  Chafes,  Wounds,' 
Burns  and  Bed  Sores,  it  is  infallible  for  a  Wash,  being 
Antiseptic  and  Disinfectant— hence  Druggists  and  Sur- 
geons use  it  extensively  in  cleaning  their  utensils.

L.  DECLARATION  OF  PURPOSED  P.   OF  H, 

We  shall  avoicl  litigation  as  much  as  possible,  by  arbitration  in  the  Grange. 
We  shall  constantly  strive  to  secure  entire  harmony,  good-will,  vital  brother- 
hood among  ourselves,  and  to  make  our  Order  perpetual.  We  shall  earnestly 
endeavor  to  suppress  personal,  local,  sectional,  and  national  prejudices,  all 
unhealthy  rivah-y,  all  selfish  ambition.  Faithful  adherence  to  these  principles 
will  insure  our  mental,  moral,  social,  and  material  advancement. 

BUSINESS  RELATIONS. 

4.  For  our  business  interests,  we  desire  to  bring  producers  and 
consumers,  farmers  and  manufacturers,  into  the  most  direct  and 
friendly  relations  possible.  Hence  we  must  dispense  with  a  surplus 
of  middlemen,  not  that  we  are  unfriendly  to  them,  but  we  do  not  need 
them.    Their  surplus  and  their  exactions  diminish  our  profits. 

We  wage  no  aggressive  warfare  against  any  other  interests  whatever.  On 
the  contrary,  all  our  acts,  and  all  our  efforts,  so  far  as  business  is  concerned, 
are  not  only  for  the  benefit  of  the  producer  and  consumer,  but  also  for  all  other 
interests  that  tend  to  bring  these  two  parties  into  speedy  and  economical 
contact.  Hence  we  hold  that  transportation  companies  of  every  kind  are 
necessary  to  our  success,  that  their  interests  are  intimately  connected  with  our 
interests,  and  harmonious  action  is  mutually  advantageous,  keeping  in  view 
the  first  sentence  in  our  Declaration  of  Principles  of  Action,  that  "  individual 
happiness  depends  upon  general  prosperity." 

We  shall  therefore  advocate  for  every  State  the  increase  in  every  practicable 
way  of  all  facilities  for  transporting  cheaply  to  the  sea-board,  or  between  home 
producers  and  consumers,  all  the  productions  of  our  country.  We  adopt  it  as 
our  fixed  purpose  "  to  open  out  the  channels  in  nature's  great  arteries,  that 
the  life  blood  of  commerce  may  floAV  freely." 

We  are  not  enemies  of  railroads,  navigable  and  irrigating  canals,  or  of  any 
corporation  that  will  advance  our  industrial  interests,  nor  of  any  laboring 
classes. 

In  our  noble  Order  there  is  no  communism,  no  agrarianism. 

We  are  opposed  to  such  spirit  and  management  of  any  corporation  or  enter- 
prise as  tends  to  oppress  the  people,  and  rob  them  of  their  just  profits.  We 
are  not  enemies  to  capital,  but  we  oppose  the  tyranny  of  monopolies.  We  long 
to  see  the  antagonism  between  capital  and  labor  removed  by  common  consent, 
and  by  an  enlightened  statesmanship  worthy  of  the  nineteenth  century.  We 
are  opposed  to  excessive  salaries,  high  rates  of  interest,  and  exorbitant  per  cent, 
profits  in  trade.  They  greatly  increase  our  burd'.Mri,  and  do  not  bear  a  proper 
proportion  to  the  profits  of  producers.  We  desire  only  self-protection,  and  the 
protection  of  every  true  interest  of  our  land  by  legitimate  transactions,  leeiti- 
mate  trade,  and  legitimate  profits.

quarter  the  quantity  of  ioater~an  iviportant  Item  in 
labor. 

Claim  zo.— That  your  money  will  be  returned  to  you  if  it  is  not 
equal  to  all  that  is  claimed  for  it. 

Claim  31.— That  the  following  is  our  system  of  washing;  simi- 
lar   to  the   printed    directions  on    the  waxed   wrapper 
that  IS  around  each  cake  of  soap.     That  it  is  the  most 
enlightened  system  ever  submitted  to  the  world 
This  being  so,  is  it  not  the  duty  of  every  householder  to  pro- 

vide  the  house  immediately  with  this  Soap  to  lighten  the  women  s 

burdens  and  economize  in  clothes  aiid  labor? 

DIRECTIONS   FOR  LAUNDRY  USE. 

We  ask  you  as  a  favor  to  try  the  first  bar  exactly  accordino- 
to  directions,  no  matter  what  j-ou  may  think  about  our  way  o'f 
washmg.  ^ 

FIRST.— Do  not  use  at  any  time  Hot  or  Boiling:-  Water 
Do  not  use  any  Soda,   Borax  or  other  Chemicals,  nor  any  Soap 
i^owder,  as  it  is  not  necessary  to  cat  the   Clothes  up  with  such 
tlungs  to  get  the  dirt  out  zvith  this  Soap.     Fill  a  wash-tub  about 
07ie-third  with  cold  water.     Then  add  a  tea  kettle  of  hot  water 
which  will  make  it  luke-warm.     Take   the  first  piece  and  dip  it 
into  the  water,  draw  it  out  either  over  the  wash-board  or  acrainst 
the  side  of  the  tub,  take  the  cake  of  Soap  and  rub  it  l7<rhtly 
though  carefully,  over  every  part  of  the  piece,  being  very  partic- 
ular that  all  extra  soiled  places  are  well  soaped     Now    roll  the 
piece  up  as  tightly  as  possible,  and  place  it  in  the  bottom  of  the 
tub.     Proceed  as  above  until  all  the  clothes  have  been  soaped 
taking  care  to  pack  them  as  closely  as  you  can.     I  f  the  water  d  oes 
not  cover  the  clothes  when  all  are  in,  add  sufficient  to  do  so.   Keep- 
ing it  luke-warm  by  the  addition  of  another  tea  ketde  of  hot  water 
If  necessary.     If  the  water  gets  too  dirty  dip  out  some  and  re- 
place with  clean  water.     -i^R^T.-Attend  to  anything  else  yon 
may  have  to  do  for  an  hour,  and  leave  the  Soap  to  do  its  own  work 
After  soaking  the  Full  Hour,  give  each  piece  a  few  light  rubs  over

EDUCATION. 

We  shall  advance  the  cause  of  education  among  ourselves,  and  for  our  chil- 
dren, by  all  just  means  within  our  power.  We  especially  advocate  for  our 
agricultural  and  industrial  colleges  that  practical  agriculture,  domestic  science, 
and  all  the  arts  which  adorn  the  home,  be  tiiught  in  their  courses  of  study. 

THE  GRANCE  NOT   PARTISAN. 

5.  We  emphatically  and  sincerely  assert  the  oft-repeatod  truth  taught  in 
our  organic  laws  that  the  Grange — National,  State,  or  Subordinate — is  not  a 
political  or  party  organization.  No  Grange,  if  true  to  its  obligations,  can 
discuss  political  or  religious  questions,  nor  call  political  conventions,  nor 
nominate  candidates,  nor  even  discuss  their  merits  in  its  meetings. 

Yet  the  principles  we  teach  underly  all  true  politics,  all  true  statesmanship, 
and  if  properly  carried  out,  will  tend  to  purify  the  whole  political  atino.si)hero 
of  our  country,  for  we  seek  the  greatest  good  to  the  greatest  number.* 

We  always  bear  in  mind  that  no  one  by  becoming  a  Patron  of  Iluslmndry, 
gives  up  that  inalienable  right  and  duty  which  belongs  to  every  American  citi- 
zen, to  take  a  proper  interest  in  the  politics  of  his  country. 

On  the  contrary,  it  is  right  for  every  member  to  do  all  in  his  power  legiti- 
mately to  influence  for  good  the  action  of  any  political  party  to  which  he  belongs. 
It  is  his  duty  to  do  all  he  can  in  his  own  party  to  put  down  bribery,  corruption, 
and  trickery;  to  see  that  none  but  competent,  faithful,  and  honest  men,  who 
will  unflinchingly  stand  by  our  industrial  interests,  are  nominated  for  all  posi- 
tions of  trust;  and  to  have  carried  out  the  principle  which  should  characterize 
every  Patron,  that 

THE   OFFICE   SHOULD   SEEK   THE   MAN,    AND   NOT    THE    MAN 

THE  OFFICE. 

We  acknoAvledge  the  broad  principle  that  diiference  of  opinion  is  no  crime, 
and  hold  that  "  progress  toward  truth  is  made  by  difference  of  opinion,"  while 
the  fault  lies  in  bitterness  of  controversy. 

We  desire  a  proper  equality,  equity,  and  fairness;  protection  for  the  weak, 
restraint  upon  the  strong;  in  short,  justly  distributed  burdens,  and  justly  dis- 
tributed power.  These  are  American  ideas,  the  very  essence  of  American  inde- 
pendence, and  to  advocate  the  contrary  is  unworthy  of  the  sons  and  daughters 
of  an  American  republic. 

We  cherish  the  belief  that  sectionalism  is,  and  of  right  should  be,  dead  and 
buried  with  the  past.  Our  work  is  for  the  present  and  the  future.  In  our 
agricultural  brotherhood  and  its  purposes,  we  shall  recognize  no  North,  no 
South,  no  EasL,  no  West. 

It  is  reserved  >)y  every  Patron,  as  the  right  of  a  freeman,  to  affiliate  with 
any  party  that  will  best  carry  out  his  iirinciplcs. 


HOW  TO  WASH,  BLUE,  AND  STARCH.  k 

the  wash-board,  and  luhat  dirt  has  not  already  fallen  out  will  do 
so.  Rinse  the  dirty  suds  out  of  the  clothes  in  a  tub  of  Uike-vvarm 
water,  and  the  wash  is  complete,  rery  simple  and  very  easy,  yet 
the  results  will  astonish  you.  Wash  rvhite  pieces  separately  from 
colored  goods  and  colored  flannels.  Do  not  expect  at  the  first  wash 
to  remove  from  your  clothes  all  the  stains  and  spots  which  have 
been  ground  into  them  by  the  old  process  of  hard  rubbim^-  boilin<r 
aiid  scalding.  Heaiy  Blankets  are  washed  almost  as  easily  as  a 
Cambric  Handkerrhief  by  the  above  process, 

BLUING.— This  Soap  to  a  great  extent  takes  the  place  of 
Blimig.  Put  sufficient  luke-warm  water  into  a  tub,  and  dissolve 
in  It  enough  Soap  to  make  the  water  decidedly  soapy ,-  now  add 
about  one-third  of  the  usual  amount  of  bluing,  and  put  the  clothes 
through  this  water ;  wring  them  out  and  hang  on  the  line  Do 
not  rinse  the  clothes  after  the  bluing  toater,  and  you  need  not 
fear  that  they  will  smell  soapy ;  on  the  contrary,  they  will  smell 
sweeter,  iron  easier,  and  look  whiter  for  this  style  of  bluing. 

STARCHING.— Make   Starch  as  usual,  only  dissolve  a 
piece  of  Soap  in  it. 

ONE  QUESTION  :    What  have  you  saved  by  using  this 
Soap?     1st.    You  have  completed  a  wash  in  ttuo  hours  which 
usually  takes  from  eight  to  ten  hours.     2d.   By  not  having  to  use 
hot  water,  you  have  saved  immensely  in  your  fuel  bill.     3d     You 
have  not  had  to  spend  a  day  of  hard  labor  over  a  wash-'board 
with  V'^oh^hXy^  tired  bac  hand  arms  2ind  2^  sick  headache  irom  it  as 
a  result.     4th.    You  have  no  clothes  torn  by  hard  rubbing  on  the 
wash-board  to  mend.     5th.   Your  clothes  look  whiter  than  you 
thought  loas  possible,  or  than  you  have  ever  been  able  to  make 
them  by  the  old  process. 

IN  WASHING  WITH  A  MACHINE,  instead  of  rubbing 
the  Soap  on  the  clothes  as  above,  dissolve  it  in  the  water  one 
cake  being  all  that  is  necessary  for  a  wash  for  8  to  12  persons. 

This  Quick-Acting  Soap  is  a  beautiful,  white  cream-colored 
Soap,  delicately  perfumed.  Is  an  elegant  Toilet  and  Bath,  as 
well  as  Laundry  Soap. 

ONE  CAKE  WILL  DO  AN  ORDINARY  WASHING  IT  Tq 
RETAILED  AT  TEN  CENTS  A  CAKE.  THERE  ARE 
THIRTY-SIX  CAKES  IN  A  BOX,  WHICH  MAKES  IT  COME

OUTSIDE   (JU-Ul'E RATION. 

ti.  Uiu\s  being  peculiarly  a  farmers'  institution,  we  cannot  admit  all  to  our 
ranks. 

Many  are  oxcliuled  by  tlio  nature  of  our  organization,  not  because  they  are 
in-ofessional  men,  or  artisans,  or  laborers,  but  because  tliey  have  not  a  sufficient 
(lii'('(!t  interest  in  tilling  the  soil,  or  may  havo  som(«  interest  in  conflict  with  our 
purposes.  But  we  appeal  to  all  good  citizens  for  their  cordial  co-operation  to 
assist  in  our  efforts  toward  reform,  tliat  we  may  eventually  remove  from  our 
midst  the  last  vestige  of  tyranny  and  corruption. 

We  hail  the  general  (Usire  for  fi'aternal  harmony,  erpiitable  compromises, 
and  earnest  co-operation,  as  an  omen  of  our  future  success. 

CONCLUSION. 

T.  It  shall  be  an  abidijig  principle  with  us  to  relieve  any  of  our  oppressed 
and  suffering  brotherhood  by  any  means  at  our  command. 

Last,  but  not  least,  we  proclaim  it  among  our  purposes  to  inculcate  a  proper 
ai)preciation  of  the  abilities  and  sphere  of  woman,  as  is  indicated  by  admitting 
her  to  membership  and  position  in  our  Order. 

Imploring  the  continued  assistance  of  our  Divine  Master  to  guide  us  in  our 
work,  we  here  pledge  ourselves  to  faithful  and  harmonious  labor  for  all  future 
time,  to  return  by  our  united  efforts  to  the  wisdom,  justice,  fraternity,  and 
political  purity  of  our  forefathers.

THIS  SOAP  CLEANS  THE  CLOTHES  THOIiOUOHLV. 

We  will  deliver  Four  or  more  hov^^s,  freight  paid  by  us,  to 
any  part  of  the  United  States,  upon  receipt  of  $3.00  per  box. 

In  order,  however,  to  introduce  the  Soap  we  will,  on  the 
first  order  only,  deliver  One  to  Three  Boxes,  freight  paid  by 
us,  to  any  part  of  the  United  States  upon  receipt  of  $3.00  per 
box. 

THE  ABOVE   APPLIES   O^iY  WHERE   WE   HAVE   NO 
STATE  OR  LOCAL  AGENTS. 

One  box  will  do  thirty-six  washes,  representing  a  saving  of 
at  least  one  dollar  per  wash,  or  thirty-six  dollars  per  box,  in  labor, 
time,  fuel  and  wear  and  tear  of  the  clothes.  It  positively  will  not 
injure  the  finest  fabric. 

BECAUSE  THIS  SOAP  CLEANS  THE  CLOTHES  THOROUGHLY 

do  not,  therefore,  imagine  it  injures  the  Fabric.  It  acts  on  the 
dirt  and  foreign  matter  only;  not  on  the  Fabric.  A  sand-blast 
will,  in  a  few  seconds,  wear  the  nail  from  the  hand,  but  it  does 
not  injure  the  flesh. 

We  will  mail  a  sample  cakey;v^,  upon  receipt  of  the  cost  of 
packing  and  mailing,  which  is  15  cents.    Remit  in  Postage  Stamps. 

Money,  if  not  sent  with  the  order,  must  be  deposited  with 
the  Master,  Secretary  or  Purchasing  Agent  of  a  Grange,  who 
must  certify  that  the  money  is  so  deposited  and  will  be  sent  to  us 
either  by  check,  registered  letter,  or  money  or  express  order,  as 
soon  as  the  Soap  arrives.  Money  sent  in  an  ordinary  letter  gets 
lost. 

Noiv  you  have  read  the  claims  and  had  the  system  explained 
— we  trust  clearly — learnt  the  price,  size  of  boxes,  read  what  the 
different  entirely  disinterested  ^witnesses  have  to  say.  If  they 
will  not  convince  you  tJiat  the  Soap  is  all  that  is  claimed  for  it, 
no  human  testimony  can.

Your  soap  is  all  and  more  tlian  you

of  results  in  washing  the  wound  in  my 
foot— it  is  an  open  wound,  cut  by  an 
axe.  about  five  inches  long.  Your  soap 
kept  it  fresh  and  sweet.

the  soap  was  made  this  week.  The 
washing  appears  to  be  well  done,  with- 
out any  boiling  of  the  clothes,  and  with 
less  work  than  is  usual  in  the  old  way 
of  washing.

We  are  not "  quick  acting  "  to  adopt

not  to  use  soft  soap  made  from  strong 
"  lie."  Experience  with  Patrons'  Paint 
hao  prepared  us  for  trying  anything 
recommended  by  O.  E.  IngersoU,  and 
we  have  found  the  Patrons'  Soap  so 
satisfactory  that  we  want  more  of  the

Miss  Carrie  Hall, 
Fii-st  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  National  Grange,  and  one  of  the  Founders. 


Brother  Kelley  in  a  recent  letter  writes: 

Brother  O.  R.  Ingersoll: 

It  was  Miss  Hall  who  first  suggested  that  ladies  be  admitted  into  full  mem- 
l)ership  in  the  Grange.  In  regard  to  my  Grange  work,  I  want  it  distinctly  un- 
derstood that  she  is  entitled  to  as  much  credit  as  myself,  for  I  assure  you  that 
had  it  not  been  for  her  I  should  have  given  up  the  work  half  a  dozen  times  dur- 
ing the  first  four  years;  1  used  to  get  woefully  discouraged  often.  1  had  several 
pages  in  the  maimseript  of  my  history  complimentary  to  her,  but  she  would 
not  let  me  publish  it.  I  was  much  pleased  to  read  of  the  proceedings  of  the 
National  Grange  at  Boston.  Both  Miss  Hall  and  myself  are  natives  of  that  city. 
The  first  night  I  spent  in  Boston  in  the  interest  of  the  Grange,  I  walked  the 
streets  all  night  because  I  had  not  enough  money  to  pay  for  lodgings  at  a  hotel, 
and  had  left  my  baggage  at  the  depot  until  1  could  hunt  up  my  brother,  whom 
1  did  not  find  until  the  next  morning — quite  a  contrast  with  the  National 
Grange  being  able  to  hire  half  a  hotel  for  its  accommodation  and  the  Tremont 
Temple  to  confer  the  6th  degree  on  over  1,500  candidates.  Do  you  know  I  have 
yet  to  see  as  many  as  300  members  of  the  Order  in  one  body.  It  has  never  been 
my  good  fortune  to  be  present  at  any  of  the  great  meetings  that  I  read  of. 

Yours,  fraternally, 

O.  H.  Kklley.

Does  not  Rot  the  clothes.

The  Soap  is  all  and  more  than,  is 
rerommended.  Saves  time  and  labor, 
saves  money  because  it  does  not  rot 
out  the  clothes.  I  tried  this  Sojip  with 
woolen  garments  with  equal  success  as 
on  cotton  and  linen.

Dear  Sir  and  Bro. 

IT  IS  FAIR  TO  STATE  THAT 
WE  GAVE  THE  SOAP  A  TRIAL 
WITHOUT  FAITH.  THE  SOAP 
DOES  EVERYTHING  CLAIMED 
FOR  IT  FOR  LAUNDRY  USE; 
further  tests  have  not  been  made. 
We  believe  that  farmers  would 
economize  by  using  ashes  used  in 
the  manufacture  of  soap  on  the 
crops  (as  they  are  a  valuable  fer- 
tilizer, and  buy  this  soap  for  their 
use.

Soap,  tetter  all  gone  and  hands  as 
smooth  as  rice. 

We  have  used  the  leading  Soaps 
—Proctor  &  Gambles,  Siddell's, 
Day's,  Babbitts',  etc.,  and  they 
would  always  be  followed  by  the

Hud  is  iR'iug  ust'il  acoording  to  di-

Wf  linvc  liiul  your  Soap  tested.  Ono  cake  done  the  same  amount  of 
washing  as  a  cako  of  Babbitt's  best  Soap  and  a  box  of  his  Soap  Powder. 
Your  Soup  (lone  the  wiiwh  up  in  two  Iioui'h'  time  wit"'  hiitfht  liil)or  iiuil  not  iiuieh 
water  to  liaudle.  only  two  tea  kettles  of  hot  water  was  UHed,  ami  there  wa."*  not 
Hteaiu  throu^'h  the  houhe,  and  our  girl  finished  Without  fatigue,  and  came 
out  smiling  No  buttons  wore  torn  off  the  clothes,  and  no  holes  woro 
in  thorn.  The  washiuK  done  with  Hahbitt'n  cake  of  Soap  and  box  of  I'owder, 
consumed  eight  hours  of  hard  labor,  Hou,se  full  of  uteani  and  the  girl,  as 
kIu'  .said,  "  almost  tired  to  death."  The  clothes  required  several  hours  of 
mending,  and  were  worn  eontsiderable.  The  fact  in  our  girl  says  whe  hu.s  de- 
clared a  Boycott  on  all  other  Soaps  Imt  the  New  Troee.Hs  In>,'ersoll  Soai). 
As  a  matter  of  fact  your  Soap  would  be  cheaper  at  twenty-five  cents  a 
cake  than  the  other  would  be  if  given  us,  taking  into  consideration  the 
saving  in  fuel,  labor,  time,  and  wear  and  tear  on  the  clothes,  in  atldition 
the  muslins  and  linens  looked  very  much  whiter.  For  toilet  use  the  latlieH  are 
delighted.  It  makes  oil  doth  look  as  if  it  had  a  new  coat  of  paint.  1  will  not 
si»eak  in  detail  of  the  other  (pudities  you  claim,  all  of  which  were  also  tested, 
bur  1  will  say,  I  will  guarantee  it  to  be  all  you  claim  for  it.  Ship  me  at 
once,  one  hundred  boxes  for  my  trade.  I  shall  duplicate  the  order  very

After  liaviiifj:  subjected  to  the  most

very  nuich  supei-ior  to  any  other  scjap

reasons:  It  saves  a  larpe  amount  of 
fuel  and  labor,  as  llie  water  recjuires  to 
be  only  luke  warm,  and  it  takes  only 
about  one  third  of  the  usual  quantity

We  beg  leave  to  refer,  -without  con-

members  of  the  Grange  who  have 
used  the  Ingersoli  Liquid  Rubber 
Painta 

Hon.  Samuel  E.  Adams,  Fast 
Master,  National  Grange. 

Judge  John  J.  Jones,  Past  Mas- 
ter, National  Grange. 

From  O.  H,  Kelley,  Originator  of 
the  Order  of  Patrons  of  Husbandry, 
and  now  Mayor  of  Carrabelle,  Flor- 
ida :  Bro.  Patrons, — I  have  thorough- 
ly tested  it  in  this  climate,  both  for 
house  painting  inside  and  out,  and  on 
sail  craft,  during  the  past  five  years, 
and  it  certainly  is  ah  that  is  claimed 
for  it  The  salt  air  from  the  Gulf  has 
no  effect  on  it  whatever.  It,  the  In- 
gei-soU  Liquid  Rubber  Paint,  manu- 
factured at  the  Patrons'  Paint  Works, 
New  York,  is  much  better  than  any 
paint  I  have  ever  used. 

Yours  fraternally,       O.  H.  Kelley. 

Bro.  F.  McDowell,  Treasurer  Na- 
tional Grange  from  its  inception,  says  : 
I  shall  use  no  other  paint.  The  friends 
I  recommended  it  to  are  delighted. 

Hon.  D.  Wyatt  Aiken,  says :  I 
have  used  the  Patrons'  Paiat  largely.  A 
gallon  covers  four  hundred  feet  nicely. 
It  works  easy  and  lasts  long,  and  looks 


veil,  and  is  the  cheapest  and  best 
Paint  ever  used. 

Hon.  J.  J.  Woodman,  P.  M  Na- 
tional Grange,and  Chairman  Executive 
Committee  National  Grange,  says  :  I 
never  knew  a  ))aint  to  stand  so  long 
and  look  so  well. 

Bro.  Hinckley,  P.  M.  State  Grange 
New  York,  says  :  The  paint  bought 
of  you  gives  perfect  satisfaction. 

We  have  thousands  of  similar  testi- 
monials from  Patrons  all  over  the 
country. 

William  H.  Wilson,  W.  Past 
Master  State  Grange,  Fla.,  Proprietor 
Fhnda  Fatron,  and  Agent  Florida 
Co-operative  Stock  Company,  in  his 
papers,  states  :  We  have  tested  the 
paints ;  they  are  aU  that  is  claimed 
for  them.  Bro.  Ingersoli,  proprietor, 
is  energetic  and  prompt,  in  all  busi- 
ness relations,  and  all  who  patronize 
him  may  rest  assured  they  run  no 
risks  of  losing  their  money.  Mr.  In- 
gersoli is  a  man  of  the  first  stamp, 
and  has  done  much  to  adorn  the 
homes  of  the  farmers  throughout  the 
country. 

A.  B.  Smedley,  Past  Lecturer,  Na- 
tional Grange,  says  :  I  find  your  paint 
all  over  the  land.  Grange  Halls  and 
Patrons'  houses  and  barns  are  decor- 
ated with  it,  and  universal  satisfaction 
is  expressed. 

Hon.  Victor  E.  Piolet,  P.  M. 

State  Grange,  Pa.,  says  :  enclosed  find 
check;  the  paint  has  proved  every  way 
satisfactory  and  I  am  prepared  to  rec- 
ommend its  general  use  in  preference 
to  the  White  Lead  now  offered. 

Benj.  P.  Ware.  P.  Master  State 
Grange,  Mass.,  who  has  used  200  gal- 
lons of  our  paint,  writes  :  The  paint 
affords  perfect  satisfaction.  My  paint- 
ers, although  somewhat  prejudiced, 
are  now  free  to  admit  that  it  spreads 
easier  and  better  than  any  paint  they 
ever  used,  and  is  a  great  saving  in  cost. 

W.  B.  Kimball,  P.  Secretary 
State  Grange,  Mass.  uses  our  paint 
continually,  having  ordered  over  150 
gallons,  and  recommends  it  to  his 
frienda

Dear  Bro.  Ingersoll: 

We  are  just  issuing  a  ''Private  Business  Cirmilar'"  to  our  Granges,  and  I  have 
put  you  down  for  Paint  and  Soap,  and  hope  the  Granges  will  patronize  you, 
and  frel  assured  that  you  will  give  them  good  trade. 

The  .soap  gives  excellent  satisfaction  to  those  who  have  tested  it;  and  we  be- 
lieve it  will  prove  a  great  saving  of  labor  to  the  ladies  of  our  household,  and  be 
welcomed  heartily.  Its  action  on  the  clothing  or  fabric  does  not  seem  injurious 
in  the  least,  while  the  ease  of  renun-ing  the  dirt  saves  strength,  and  the  wear 
and  tear  of  the  material  is  certainly  a  strong  point. 

Mrs.  Stinson  joins  in  kind  regards  and  wishes. 

Very  cordially  yours, 

Wm.  H.  Stinson.

Worthy  Brother — I  have  tried  the

convinced  of  its  great  merit.  It  will 
do  all  you  claim  for  it.

Old  Wash  Boiler  abandoned. 

Reed's  Ferry,  N.  H.,  Jan.  11,  1886. 
Brother  Patron— 

I  was  one  of  the  fortunate  to  be  at 
the  N.  H .  State  Grange,  and  to  take 
and  test  your  "  Patrons'  Soap."  We 
have  used  it  in  our  family  and  like  it 
very  much;  have  never  seen  its  equal. 
All  should  know  its  worth,  it  is  truly 
the  ladies'  assistant.  We  have  aban- 
doned the  wash  boiler,  and  if  the  order 
for  a  box  which  I  also  send  to-day 
reaches  us  before  another  week,  I  shall 
not  use  it  again  very  soon.  Your  motto 
is  "advance." 

Fraternally,  yours,

Washing  made  very  much 
Easier. 

The  "soap"  received  at  the  N.  H. 
State  Grange  P.  of  H.  from  your  manu- 
factory can  be  fully  recommended  by 
me  as  one  of  the  best  I  ever  used.  By 
using  it  the  washing  was  very  much 
easier.  Hoping  that  all  will  become  ac- 
quainted with  its  use  and  success  to 
your  good  work.     I  remain,

Elegant  Toilet   Soap,  making 

skin  soft  and  smooth. 
O.  R.  Ingersoll, — 

Dear  Sir  and  Bro., — I  received  one 
cake  of  your  soap  while  attending 
New  Hamjjshire  State  Grange,  and 
after  giving  it  a  thorough  trial,  I 
must  say  it  is  one  of  the  vei'y  best 
soaps  I  ever  used,  far  beyond  my 
idea  of  what  it  would  do,  it  is  all  you 
claim  for  it.  For  laundry  or  toilet  uses 
it  is  unsurpassed,  and  can  say  from  ex- 
perience that  any  one  using  it  will 
have  smooth,  soft  skin  and  never  be 
troubled  with  chapped  hands.  Occa- 
sions are  so  rare  when  one  can  con- 
scientiously speak  in  terms  of  com- 
mendation of  a  soap,  but  yours  is  so 
praiseworthy  that  I  freely  give  my 
testunony  as  to  its  intrinsic  value. 
Hoping  for  your  success,  I  remain 

Yours  fraternally,  li.  Ij.  Cutts,  Sec'y,

Just  the  thing  for  Laundry  Use. 

Sutton,  N.  H.,  Jan,  10,  1886. 
Mr.  Ingersoll,— 

The  cake  of  soap  which  was  handed 
to  me  last  December  at  Manchester, 
N.  H.,  State  Grange,  1  brought  it 
home,  and,  being  a  farmer's  wife.  I 
gave  it  a  fair  test,  and  J.  can  truly  say 
it  was  the  best  soap  I  ever  used  for 
washing,  and  it  done  all  you  claimed 
it  would  do.  It  is  just  the  thing  for 
laundry  use. 

In  faith,  hope,  and  charity,  with 
fidelity,       Mrs.  Ei,iza  L.  Fowler,

I  have  used  the  trial  bar  of  soap 
Avhich  my  husband  l)rought  from  Graf- 
ton, and  flnd  it  superior  to  any  soap 
I  have  ever  used,  for  two  reasons, 
namely— first,  it  takes  less  of  the  soaj) 
to  do  a  washing  ;  secondly,  it  leaves 
the  hands  so  soft  and  smooth.

at  the  Mass.  State  Grange  and  will  say 
it  gave  as  good  satisfaction  as  any  I 
ever  tried  without  scalding,  but  I  do 
think  there  are  pieces  in  every  wash 
that  require  scalding.

Avgusta,  Me.,  Feb.  16,  1886. 
Bro.  Ingersoll, — 

We  have  tested  your  New  Process  Quick  Acting  Soap,  and  it  affords  us 
pleasure  to  say  that  for  Laundry,  Toilet,  and  Shaving— for  the  Kitchen, 
Dishes,  Tables.'and  Floors— for  the  Stahle,  Harness,  Running-Gear  of  Car- 
riages, etc.,  it  is  absolutely  all  you  claim  for  it.  What  years  of  toil 
and  premature  old  age  could  have  be^n  saved  to  the  women  of 
our  Country  had  this  Soap  been  discovered  before !  That  box  has 
settled  the  question  down  this  way.     Please  ship  me  four  more  boxes. 

Fraternally,  Geo.   F.   Patch.

State  Grange,  Pa.,  says  : 

Bro  InTcrsoll :  JIany  of  our  members  have  more  than  saved  their 
Grange  expenses  for  a  lifcUmc  by  purchasing  your  Paint.  I  inte.ul  paint- 
ing the  headquarters  of  tl.c  management  of  Williams'  Grove,  and  Patrons 
can  see  your  Paint  c.u  ihe  Farmers'  Printing  House,  in  Mechamcsburg  as 
they  pass  through.  From  Fanners'  Friend,  Mechanicsburg.  1  a.-Wc  find 
that  the  heat  of  summer  has  not  faded  or  dimmed  its  brilliancy,  nor  has 
the  frost  of  winter  scaled  the  paint  from  tb.  brick.  It  is  so  firm  and  hard 
that  it  cannot  l)e  scarred  or  scratched  except  with  a  very  sharp  instrument. 
The  universal  praise  of  the  paint  is  not  to  be  wondered  at.  Our  pleasure 
at  the  present  appearance  of.  our  building  is  what  prompts  us  to  give  this 
gratuitous  notice  to  the  Patrons'  Paint  Works.  It  looks  as  bright  and  bru- 
liant  as  when  first  applied. 

Bro  T  A  Thompson,  the  first  Lecturer  of  the  National  Grange,  says: 
"The  Patrons'  Paint  will  outlast  White  Lead  and  Oil  (mixed  by  ha-d)  four 
times,  considering  the  cost  of  putting  .the  Lead  on  four  times,  :t  would  be

With  tliese  distinguished  gentlemen  as  trustjes  tlie  Company  took  possession 
of  the  IngersoU  Paint  Works.  Immediately  a  manufacturer  of  ready-mixed 
paint  got  out  a  bogus  patent  on  "putting  paint  in  cans  ready-mixed  for 
shipment  or  storage,"  and  commenced  a  livwsuit  in  order  to  close  up  the 
concern,  but  after  an  exjjendituroof  eigliL  tiiousand  dollars,  we  had  their  })atent 
annulled.  Thus  it  was  the  I'atrons'  Paint  Works  was  the  first  manufacturing 
concern  that  solil  direct  to  the  Order.  It  is  well  at  this  time  (when  storekeepers 
are  trying  to  sell  to  the  Order  clieap  made  paints  composed  of  benzine  and 
water  in  part  and  other  tMlultorants  and  claiming  them  to  be  better  than  the 
Patrons'  Paint,  which  nine  times  out  of  ten  they  know  nothing  of),  to  issue 
"a  sign  of  caution,"  and  ask  Patrons  whether  they  will  believe  the  testimonials 
as  to  the  superiority  of  our  paints,  of  over  ten  thousand  leading  men  of  tl>e 
Order,  from  the  Hon.  Oliver  II.  Kelly  all  down  through  to  those  of  the  present 
time,  rather  than  these  storekeepers,  who  have  no  interest  in  tho  Order  excei)t- 
ing  to  break  doAvn  the  only  concern  that  sells  Patrons  a  pure  article  of  paint  at 
figures  as  low  as  possible  consistent  with  the  quality  of  the  goods,  and  that  will 
last,  as  many  have  testified,  at  least  four  times  longer  than  any  other  paint. 

Such  being  the  case,  is  it  not  the  duty  of  all  Patrons  to  stand  by  tho 
Patrons'  Paint  Works,  and  all  similar  concerns  that  stand  by  them?  Tho 
l>ccluratiun  of  Purposes  certainly  sjiys  so,  in  no  uncertain  language.     ^\'e  occa- 


DUTY  OF  PATRONS. 

sionally  receive  a  letter  from  a  Patron  desiring  to  know  if  our  paints  are  really 
what  we  claim  for  them.     There  is  only  one  answer  that  can  be  made  to  sucli 
an  apparently  ridiculous  question:   If  they  are  not  all  we  claim  for  them  then 
all  the  eminent  Patrons  who  have  testified  and  used  our  paint  for  the  last  twelve 
years,  must  be  men  entirely  devoid  of  honor  and  self  respect,  for  if  the  paints 
'vere  not  good,  they  must  have  been  swindled  themselves,  and  then  written 
testimonials  to  the  efEect  that  the  paints  excelled  all  others  in  quality  and 
clieapness. 
Why  White  Lead  Does  not  Last  One-Quarter  the  Time 
Ingersoll's  Liquid  Rvibber  Paint  Does. 
We  are  continually  being  asked  by  Patrons,  why  it  is  that  car  paint  will 
lr.st  in  many  cases,  and  look  well  on  a  house,  for  twelve  years,  while  white  lead 
and  oil  at  tlie  very  best  does  not  last  over  three  years.     Fifty  years  ago  white 
lead  and  oil  was  considered  good  for  ten  years'  service.     The  reason  for  this  is 
very  simple,  the  method  of  manufacture  now  is  entirely  different  from  that 
employed  fifty  years  ago.     Formerly  White  Lead  was  corroded  by  immersing  in 
vinegar  acidulated  with  acetic  acid  (which  is  only  concentrated  vinegar).     This 
process  required  about  eight  weeks  before  the  carbonate  was  ready  for  use;  but 
this  ])rocess  was  found  too  costly  and  the  production  too  limited  to  supply  the 
demand,  and  at  the  same  time  to  compete  with  the  many  concerns  that  were 
manufacturing  white  lead  all  over  the  country  with  little  or  no  capital.     The 
old  process  required  so  long  a  time  that  parties  were  compelled  to  invest  a  large 
capital  from  which  they  covdd  not  receive  returns  for  a  long  time.     Thus  those 
engaged  in  the  old  process  have  been  obliged  to  change  to  the  new  process  in 
order  to  meet  the  demands  for  a  low  priced  article.     Accordingly  the  ingenuity 
of  inventors  was  taxed  to  invent  some  method  by  which  carbonate  could  be  pro- 
duced  at  a  low  price.     Thus  they  have  all  adopted  the  present  process,  by  which 
lead  is  produced  by  means  of  a  strong  acid  in  a  very  few  days,  but  the  lead  thus 
manufactured  retains  in  large  quantities  all  these  strong  acids,  which  are  acted 
on  by  the  sun  and  water  and  soon  become  not  much  better  than  common  white- 
wash, to  be  removed  by  rains  and  storms,  and  to  chalk  and  rub  off  on  the 
clothes.     This  cheapening  process  is  also  now  used  in  the  manufacture  of 
leather.     Formerly  it  required  fifteen  months  to  thoroughly  tan  a  hide,  now  it 
is  done  in  six  weeks  at  the  longest,  and  the  result  is  the  same  as  with  the  white 
lead,  people  are  consfeintly  complaining  that  the  present  leather  soon  breaks 
and  lacks  its  original  durability. 

If  white  lead  was  manufactured  as  it  was  fifty  years  ago,  we  would  hear  no 
more  complaints  about  white  lead  and  oil  not  being  serviceable.  Yet  of  course 
we  iiud  many  sticking  to  white  lead  and  oil  because  their  fathers  used  it, 
although,  let  us  hope,  if  their  fathers  were  alive  at  the  present  time  their  in- 
telligence would  teach  them  different.
